| * [IA64-SGI] - Eliminate SN pio_phys_xxx macros. Move to assemblyJack Steiner2006-02-073-52/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rewrite the SN pio_phys_xxx macros in assembly language. This avoids issues with the Intel icc compiler. Function call overhead is not an issue - the functions reference PIOs and take 100's nsec to complete. In addition, the functions should likely be in assembly language anyway - they reference memory using physical addressing mode. One function executes with psr.ic disabled.

| * | [IA64] hooks to wait for mmio writes to drain when migrating processesBrent Casavant2006-01-267-5/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On SN2, MMIO writes which are issued from separate processors are not guaranteed to arrive in any particular order at the IO hardware. When performing such writes from the kernel this is not a problem, as a kernel thread will not migrate to another CPU during execution, and mmiowb() calls can guarantee write ordering when control of the IO resource is allowed to move between threads. However, when MMIO writes can be performed from user space (e.g. DRM) there are no such guarantees and mechanisms, as the process may context-switch at any time, and may migrate to a different CPU as part of the switch. For such programs/hardware to operate correctly, it is required that the MMIO writes from the old CPU be accepted by the IO hardware before subsequent writes from the new CPU can be issued. The following patch implements this behavior on SN2 by waiting for a Shub register to indicate that these writes have been accepted. This is placed in the context switch-in path, and only performs the wait when the newly scheduled task changes CPUs.

If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value (or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump forward 1ms. Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at 1Mhz with a full 23bit counter. This eliminated the custom do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo.

Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported AX.25 dialects. The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.

We think of pages present as the slow case, but Lee's trace shows that free_swap_and_cache's radix tree lookup can make a lot of work - and we could have been doing it many thousands of times without a latency break. Move the zap_work update up to account swap entries like pages present. This does account non-linear pte_file entries, and unmap_mapping_range skipping over swap entries, by the same amount even though they're quick: but neither of those cases deserves complicating the code (and they're treated no worse than they were in 2.6.14).

Under certain conditions, this can lead to I/O requests going off the end of an underlying device. This test-case shows one example. echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 0" | dmsetup create linear0 echo "0 100 linear /dev/hdb1 100" | dmsetup create linear1 echo "0 200 striped 2 32 /dev/mapper/linear0 0 /dev/mapper/linear1 0" | \ dmsetup create stripe0 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/stripe0 bs=1k This will produce the output: dd: writing '/dev/mapper/stripe0': Input/output error 97+0 records in 96+0 records out And in the kernel log will be: attempt to access beyond end of device dm-0: rw=0, want=104, limit=100 The patch will check that the table size is a multiple of the stripe chunk-size when the table is created, which will prevent the above striped device from being created. This should not affect tools like LVM or EVMS, since in all the cases I can think of, striped devices are always created with the sizes being a multiple of the chunk-size. The size of a stripe device must be a multiple of its chunk-size.

* | | | [PATCH] x86: check for online cpus before bringing them upSrivatsa Vaddagiri2006-03-171-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bryce reported a bug wherein offlining CPU0 (on x86 box) and then subsequently onlining it resulted in a lockup. On x86, CPU0 is never offlined. The subsequent attempt to online CPU0 doesn't take that into account. It actually tries to bootup the already booted CPU. Following patch fixes the problem (as acknowledged by Bryce). Please consider for inclusion in 2.6.16. Check if cpu is already online.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a d_drop in dir_release which caused problems as it invalidates dcache entries too soon. This was likely a part of the wierd cwd behavior folks were seeing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the posix-timer signal is ignored then the timer is rearmed by the callback function. The requeue pending accounting has to be fixed up else the state might be wrong.
